Here is an indépendant witness... If you edit a post within about 3 minutes of posting, it doesn't leave a note saying an edit has been made.

He did, its a very quick edit.

What do you mean "still"? We've known the debt situation since the accounts were published in March... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150330-southampton-financial-results-2013-14-2367070.aspx It is soft debt to the owner and the company made a £33.4m profit. UPDATE: The opening post originally said "still" before a very quick edit left no trace of it

He is liable to go AWOL.

I don't see why you think adding seats to St Mary's would be so much more costly than adding seats to Cardiff's stadium? Many other examples I could use to show adding seats to an existing relatively modern stadium is significantly cheaper than building an entirely new one to the same capacity. - St Mary's cost £32m to build in 1999 to 2001 - 90% of £32m = £28.8m - Cardiff City in the last 2 years added 5,000 seats at a cost of £12m or £2,400 per seat To add 13,000 seats to St Mary's to take it to 45,000 at £2,400 per seat would = £31.2m Very similar! To build a 45,000 seater stadium from scratch on Jackson's Farm would cost significantly more than £28.8m or £31.2m! Out of interest how much do you think the two things would cost...? a) expanding St Mary's to 45,000 b) building a brand new 45,000 stadium

Why The Dell and not the Antelope Ground or County Cricket Ground?

Only players that weren't on international duty in June. Most of our first team squad won't be back until the following week.

Wouldn't it be better to take each player on their own merits rather than taint them all with the same brush?

Why not?

In his Twitter profile he describes himself as... "Reputable established football associate. 17 years of experience in intermediary/third party sponsoring." Shouldn't that be for others to decide rather than labelling yourself!

Stoke finished 13 points and 5 places above Leicester last season. I don't think its unreasonable to think they are the better team.

He was Stoke's player of the season, how can going to a weaker team be his level? He'd be better off staying at Stoke than moving to Leicester.

Do you disagree with what I said? I wasn't saying we should make St Mary's bigger or move to a new stadium, I was merely commenting that the cost to expand St Mary's would be significantly less that building a completely new stadium. Thank you.

Cardiff City recently added over 5,000 seats and more corporate areas for £12m. If Saints added 13,000 to St Mary's it would be tiny in cost compared to building a completely new 45,000+ stadium.

6 in the Premier League, pretty good for a 20 year old midfielder from 16 starts and having his season disrupted by injury from September to December.

It is 3 years at a club before the season turning 21 y/o. Morgan Schneiderlin is a home grown player for English clubs.

Now write it out 100 times. If its not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off. [video=youtube;XbI-fDzUJXI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbI-fDzUJXI

Nothing, that article is merely a rehash of other reports. They link to the article it is based on and it is this... http://www.squawka.com/news/liverpool-transfer-round-up-firmino-is-close-reds-agree-to-meet-saints-asking-price-for-clyne/403225 Which is also a rehash of other reports and it links to this... http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/585831/Manchester-City-50m-Bid-Raheem-Sterling-Liverpool-Transfer-News So basically the Tuesday Metro article you've linked to is a retelling of a story in the Sunday Express. The Metro often does these follow the trail articles, as its journalist have no contacts of their own and you end up finding the story is a rehash from an older story in other publications.

Two of the three have signed for Southampton, time for Les Reed to work on the third...

You could reduce the number of tickets you sell to the away side and open up the blocks in the away end to home fans. Saints do also use the phrase "sell out" when they've sold out the home end tickets.

He is joking, an "allotment" in England is also piece of land divided up and used by lots of people to grow plants and vegetables. You are allotted a small piece of land. I think they are called "community gardens" in America...

Is that an educated guess or have you heard something?

Things like that can happen when the press link a club to a player and then fans of that club place bets on the transfer happening. The bookmakers then reduce the odds, but that doesn't mean the transfer is likely to happen, just bookmakers trying to make the most money possible from the market.

We were never going to sign a better keeper than Forster. He is our long term number one and Stekelenburg should be a significant upgrade on having to use Davis or Gazzaniga.

It is what a lot of religions effectively believed. Is that really any more silly than the Judeo-Christian deity? Of course not.
